For most of its history MG - also known as Morris Garages - was associated with British open-top roadsters but that changed with the collapse of Rover in 2005, which saw the Chinese state-owned SAIC group take over.
But Bodo/Glimt's players were forced to make an unusual and unexpected alteration to their plans ahead of kick-off when their bus was stuck in traffic and struggled to negotiate the narrow north London streets near the Emirates.
Meanwhile more than 90 per cent of ten to 16-year-olds play online games regularly. Campaign group ParentZone has claimed children feel under pressure to make ingame purchases and almost half believe games are only fun when spending money.
'We recently suffered a network intrusion in which an unauthorized third party illegally accessed and downloaded confidential information from our systems, including early development footage for the next Grand Theft Auto,' Rockstar said in a statement.

Is there a gamer in your household? A dedicated Game Mode adjusts picture settings for an optimized fast-response gaming experience. Plus, with up to 4 HDMI ports and seamless audio integration with available TCL Alto Sound Bars featuring the Roku TV Ready badge, you'll have everything you need to level up.
Neill, who runs consumer complaints website Resolver, said 'the game is up' for Sony.
She said the case is particularly important as gaming is the biggest part of the UK's entertainment industry - ahead of TV, video and music.
And the best news is that you don't need to pay for content when you own this TV, as the Roku operating system gives you an impressive selection of free entertainment with 250+ live TV channels, award-winning Roku Originals, in-season shows, hit movies, kids' TV and more.
The large, immersive is now just $319.99, which is a significant saving on the original retail price of $600. A home-movie experience and feeling like you're right at the game from the comfort of your sofa has never been so affordable.
Dr Cecilia Melendres, a pediatric sleep expert at Johns Hopkins University, told DailyMail.com that the rise in video game supplements was 'definitely is a major factor' in the current sleep crisis facing among US children and teens.
But while most parents recognize brands like Monster and Red Bull as energy drinks, experts warn gaming supplements could be mistaken for a protein shake because they are diluted in a gym shaker bottle.
Many popular games are free and make the majority of their money from paid addons, with figures showing £46bn was spent on in-game purchases in 2020.
Figures also show more than 60 per cent of adults in the UK regularly play a game on a console or mobile phone.
Potential beneficiaries of the claim do not have to take action to be included.
The case is funded by Woodsford, a team of litigation experts investing in large commercial claims, so those affected will not have to pay any of the costs of the action themselves. Sony was asked to comment.
The lawsuit, led by consumer champion Alex Neill, claims Sony charged a 30 per cent commission on every digital game and in-game purchase made through the Playstation store - an online shop for consoles selling games and extra content to users.
Milberg partner Natasha Pearman, who is leading the case, said: 'It [Sony] has deployed an anti-competitive strategy which has resulted in excessive prices to customers that are out of all proportion to the costs of Sony providing its services.'
Cineworld confirms it is considering US bankruptcy filing as... BUSINESS CLOSE: Cineworld considers US bankruptcy filing;... Vodafone agrees £1.5bn sale of Hungarian arm as telecoms... SMALL CAP IDEA: ReNeuron finance boss says changes at...
'It's a PR disaster, possibly sets back production and hurts morale,' financial services company Jefferies wrote in a client note, warning the potential leak of the game's source code could pose a bigger threat.
